Tympanic temperature reflects intracranial temperature changes in humans

Pflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology, 2003
The purpose of the study was to identify extracranial locations in which temperature changes in humans reflect those of intracranial temperature in a reliable and repeatable way. This was achieved by subjecting 14 non-anaesthetized patients after neurosurgery to face fanning while intracranial and extracranial temperatures were continuously measured ...

Tympanic temperature during therapeutic hypothermia

Emergency Medicine Journal, 2010
Prehospital induction of therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest may require temperature monitoring in the field. Tympanic temperature is non-invasive and frequently used in clinical practice. Nevertheless, it has not yet been evaluated in patients undergoing mild therapeutic hypothermia (MTH).

Tympanic temperatures during hemiface cooling

European Journal of Applied Physiology and Occupational Physiology, 1987
In adult men the left half of the head was covered with thick heat insulation, and the right hemiface was cooled by spraying a mist of water, and vigorous fanning. The subjects were immersed up to the waist in warm water (42 degrees) to achieve hyperthermia.

Reexamination of tympanic membrane temperature as a core temperature

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1996
Controversies surrounding tympanic temperature (Tty) itself and techniques for measuring it have dampened the potential usefulness of Tty in determining core temperature (operationally defined here as the body temperature taken at a deep body site). The present study was designed to address the following questions.

Tympanic thermometry--normal temperature and reliability.

Paediatric nursing, 2009
Clinical measurements such as temperature are commonly used for screening and diagnosis. However, little is known about the reliability of specific thermometers or measurement techniques.This study sought to define normal tympanic temperature and to assess the reliability of tympanic thermometry. Using a cross-sectional survey design, 244 children aged

Tympanic Membrane Temperatures Compared to Rectal and Oral Temperatures

Clinical Pediatrics, 1991
One hundred thirty-seven children at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation were enrolled in a study comparing the accuracy and acceptability of tympanic membrane temperatures taken with Thermoscan® to rectal or oral temperatures taken by IVAC® electronic thermometers. The mean age of the rectal/ear group was 1.2 ± 0.86 years (range 0.08- 5.0 years) with 22

Effect of facial cooling on tympanic temperature

American Journal of Critical Care, 1997
BACKGROUND: In clinical practice, tympanic temperature is used as an estimate of body temperature. Theoretically, temperature recorded directly from the tympanum reflects the temperature of arterial blood circulating to the brain. However, some studies do not support this connection.

Tympanic thermometry for recording basal body temperatures

Fertility and Sterility, 1993
Evaluation of 12 menstrual cycles using oral, rectal, and TM temperature measuring devices (over 2,000 individual readings) confirmed the ovulatory thermal shift was equally detected with TM thermometry compared with the traditional methods. Although a single TM reading was satisfactory, an average of three successive readings provided a smoother graph

Infrared Tympanic Thermometry for Neonatal Temperature Assessment

Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic & Neonatal Nursing, 1994
To investigate the accuracy and precision of infrared tympanic thermometer use with neonates by comparing with axillary and rectal measurements.Descriptive, comparative study.Newborn nursery of a tertiary-level perinatal center.Thirty-four full-term newborns.Infrared thermometers were used to collect tympanic temperatures. An electronic thermometer was

Tympanic Membrane Temperature and Hemispheric Cognitive Style

The Journal of Genetic Psychology, 2017
The authors tested the hypothesis that there is a correlation between hemispheric cognitive style and ear temperature. A sample of 100 participants completed a measure of hemispheric cognitive style, the Hemispheric Consensus Prediction Profile. Ear temperatures were taken in 2 sessions, 2 times for each ear at each session.
